Chapter 561 Expensive Gift
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Mu Bai is pregnant and has been sitting in the car for such a long time. Let's let someone go in and have a rest first."
"Okay, I was so happy that I almost forgot about this."
Jiang Mubai and Jiang An were welcomed in by their family. Jiang Jinglan looked at Jiang Mubai who was being treated like a star from behind and his eyes gradually grew colder.
Apart from Jiang Jinglan, Jiang Mubai had a pretty good impression of the uncle and aunt he had just met. Although Jiang Ping was not so enthusiastic about Jiang Mubai, Jiang Mubai could understand that as a man, he might be more introverted and not someone who liked to express his emotions. Jiang Ping's personality was exactly the kind of personality that Jiang Mubai liked in his elders.
Jiang Ping's behavior made Jiang Mubai feel that this state was just right and not overwhelming. On the other hand, Jiang Ping's wife was too enthusiastic towards Jiang Mubai. The couple seemed to be two extremes. Jiang Mubai didn't understand how two such extreme people could live together.
Jiang Mubai just came back and didn't know anything. She didn't know whether her uncle's family was involved in the affairs between her and Bai Yalan. Jiang Mubai didn't know about the past, but she could slowly investigate and find out. However, if her uncle and aunt were really good to her in the future, Jiang Mubai would also treat them sincerely.
As for Jiang Jinglan, Jiang Mubai felt that there was no need to make friends with her. Jiang Mubai looked down on people like her and didn't like people with her personality, so when he saw her in the future, they would just be ordinary relatives.
"Mu Bai, come and sit down, let your aunt take a good look at you. Ah An told me yesterday that he would bring you back today, and I didn't prepare anything. This bracelet was a dowry given to me by my parents. I have kept it in the box and never worn it. When I heard that you were coming back, I opened it and looked around until I found this bracelet that I liked, so I took it out. This color is just right for young girls like you to wear. Your aunt can't wear these things anymore. Wearing them makes me look unstable."
Jiang Mubai lowered her head and looked over. In front of her was a water-green jade bracelet with very good water content. Jiang Mubai didn't understand these things, but even as a layman, she could tell that the bracelet was very valuable, and that at her aunt's age, it was indeed not suitable for her to wear jewelry of this color.
No matter how valuable the bracelet is, Jiang Mubai will never accept it. She understands the principle of not accepting gifts without merit. What's more, this bracelet is a dowry given to her by her aunt's family, so it is even more impossible for Jiang Mubai to take it.
"Aunt, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it. You should take it back. I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is given to you by your family, so you should keep it as a keepsake."
"No, I've already given you this bracelet, so how can I take it back? Don't feel bad just because it's from my parents. To be honest, my dowry is more than this. There's a lot more in the house. Don't worry about it for me. Just keep it. It's a token of my love."
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Jiang Mubai looked towards Jiang An. Jiang An was discussing something with Jiang Ping on the other side of the sofa. He also noticed what was happening on Jiang Mubai's side. After hearing the whole story, Jiang Mubai thought that Jiang An would speak for him and ask his aunt to take back the bracelet. However, Jiang An started to persuade Jiang Mubai instead.
"Keep it, Mu Bai. This is also a token of your great aunt's love. Your great aunt wasn't lying to you. She really doesn't need this."
Jiang Mubai certainly knew that her aunt was not lacking in these things. When she saw Chen Qingyu just now, she felt that her temperament was indeed not from a small family. And to be able to marry into a family like the Jiang family, her own conditions and family conditions must be very good.
Seeing that Jiang An had asked her to accept it, Jiang Mubai felt that it would be too ungrateful to continue refusing, so she took the bracelet.
"Thank you, auntie, for preparing these things for me. I really like this bracelet. I'm sorry for the expense."
"It's not a big deal. This kid is so sweet. No wonder An couldn't wait to take you home to recognize your ancestors after recognizing you. By the way, you just came back and we don't have any activities in the morning. After we have lunch and rest, we will go to the ancestral hall behind the main house to take you to worship."
"Okay, everything will be up to you."
Jiang An and Jiang Ping had finished their talk. Jiang An came over and said to Chen Qingyu, "Sister-in-law, Mu Bai must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. I'll take her upstairs to rest. She'll live here and you'll have plenty of time to chat."
"An is more thoughtful. As a father, he really loves his daughter. Aunt was too happy to notice these things. Mu Bai, don't take it to heart. We are a family now. If you want to do something, just tell me directly. There is no need to be so polite."
"Okay, I understand, aunt."
"Go upstairs and have a rest. Mu Bai's room is the third room on the left on the second floor. Ah An, take Mu Bai upstairs to have a look. I'm going to the kitchen to watch the servants cook. If there's anything Mu Bai wants to eat, I can ask the kitchen to make lunch for you later."
"It's all right. Auntie will make the arrangements."
"Okay, then I'll do what I prepared before."
Jiang Mubai was taken to her room by Jiang An, and Jiang An also went into the room with her.
"Your aunt is a very nice person. You saw what she did just now. Don't be distant with her. I have never married since Yalan passed away. As a father, I don't know a lot about you, a girl. With your aunt here, you can go to her for anything."
"Okay, I understand. I think this bracelet is too valuable. It would be inappropriate for me to return it by myself. I'd better trouble you to help me return it to her."
"Take it. I said I would give it to you. It's hard for her to prepare these. If I give them back, she will think that we don't value her things, and it will hurt our relationship."
There is some truth in what Jiang An said, and Jiang Mubai understands this in her heart, but holding this bracelet in her hand is indeed a considerable burden.
This bracelet is very valuable and Jiang Mubai doesn't plan to wear it because she thinks that sooner or later she will leave here and then she will return the bracelet to Chen Qingyu. If she wears it now and it gets broken, how can she return it to her?
Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, Jiang An knew that she took his words to heart and no longer insisted on returning the bracelet. Jiang An only saw that there was nothing on the surface but Jiang Mubai's true thoughts.
"Rest in your room now. I'll come up to call you when it's time to eat. If there's anything missing from your room, just ask your aunt. She'll arrange it for you. Don't worry."
"Well, I see."
With no outsiders present, Jiang Mubai's attitude towards Jiang An became cold again. Jiang An sighed inwardly but fortunately didn't say much and went about his business.
